It seems like everyone is getting into the TV game, but not on the talking box (as Forrest Gump called it) — on the Web. And in some cases, TV networks are trying to take the Web and turn it into television. Good luck to them. Here’s a roundup of some of the news:<\/p>\n
— News Corp. unit Twentieth TV<\/strong> is working with Yahoo<\/strong> on a “Web on TV” show<\/a>, which will no doubt feature the latest hilarious clips of skateboarders hurting themselves or kittens on an icy pond.<\/p>\n — Lifetime Networks<\/strong> is launching a TV-style platform as part of its relaunched website, and will create new shows just for the Web<\/a> as well as streaming Lifetime content.<\/p>\n — Newsweek<\/strong> says it is going to create a political talk show<\/a> that will run weekly on its website, and the magazine has hired the former producer of Hardball with Chris Matthews<\/em> on MSNBC to put it together.<\/p>\n In other media-related announcements, MSNBC’s redesign is live (just in time for Rex “Fimoculous” Sorgatz to leave and an old friend of mine to arrive) and it has a very cool Ajax-y feature<\/a> that lets you move chunks of the page up or down depending on your interests. <\/p>\n And in the old-time newspaper world, a number of chains have done a deal<\/a> with real-estate site Zillow to put their ads on the Zillow site and use Zillow features on their newspaper websites. For more, see this piece of commentary<\/a> on CNET about newspapers and the classified conundrum, and see Don Dodge on The Next Big Thing<\/a> for a post on the Zillow deal.<\/p>\n
